Ben: What should win, "Toy Story 3", hands down. What probably will win, "The Social Network" or "The Fighter". "Black Swan" will get nominated and I would love for it to win, but it's too indie of a film and not commercial enough for The Acad...
like "Network" and "Fighter". However, I liked "Network" SLIGHTLY better than "Black Swan". I emphasize the word "slightly". Your movie, "The King's Speech" will get nominated too. So don't worry :)

Fred: You're correct on the Best Actor. Probably even Best Picture but Social Network is a strong dark horse. Supporting isnt Rush .. it's Bale this year

Ben: Yeah forgot to mention that. It's the one sure thing this year, Christian Bale as best supporting actor. As clear as the nose on your face. He totally deserves it.

Me: Well besides social network I haven't seen any of the contenders yet. I just really enjoyed kings speech. I had heard bale was the one to beat. I am hoping to see the fighter later this week.

Jeff: Kings Speech is really good. It should get all kinds of nominations and could be in the running for Best Picture. Bale should have Supporting Actor lined up for The Fighter...almost as clear a winner as Christoph Waltz last year. Best Actress is going to be a tough one; I've already seen great performances from Nicole Kidman (The Rabbit Hole) and Halle Berry (Frankie & Alice) and Nathalie Portman (Black Swan).

Me: Plus kings speech is British and the academy loves the British! I would really like to see Colin Firth win... He has been enjoyable to watch over the years! I really liked that movie Jeff! Anyhoo, now to decide on the next film to see. Hum.. Choices.. Choices.

Ben:Oh that's easy, Natalie Portman for Best Actress. She just announced her pregnancy to her soon to be husband/choreographer for "Black Swan"/the main male dancer she danced with in the film. So the media will eat that up and buzz will derive because of it. But I honestly think she had the best performance. Definitely better than Halle Berry, although she did a great job too.

Ben: Look at Sandra Bullock. She beat Meryl Streep last year, the greatest actress of all time for goodness sake. All the politics and buzz were in Sandra's favor.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
